Or just plug it in to a regular video camera.This is kinda long, but a buddy of mine made this using that helmet cam, sometimes on his helmet, sometimes on various parts of his bike:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk7xyzonwvM

Hmmm when I was buying the tripod, I was absolutely mad of all that gorillapods - all the ebay is filled with it, and it's quite a tough task to find what you actually looking for. However, it turns out that somebody really needs it (and buys it). Is it that handy?

I saw a video of a guy doing like a 400 mile ride. He took jpegs one every 30 seconds and then stiched them together. So you go 400 miles in like 4 minutes or something like that. It was a pretty sweet video. Do you camera support the gphoto2 --capture-image option? You could do some pretty sweet time lapse stuff with that, and a laptop.

If your camera is like mine, an mjpeg video takes up about a gig in 8 minutes. I wonder what the battery drain would be on that anyway, I've never taken one that long.
